I've come to two conclusions about my life..all of the really harsh things that have happened and that are going on right now in my life are extremely hard to handle. It's been a bit overwhelming.

The conclusions I've come to are:1. It is happening because I'm meant to fail or something is trying to keep me down.

OR (which to me is the better but harder option)

2. It is happening because I am meant to do something phenomenal with my life and right now I'm being emotionally and spiritually preened and conditioned for the moment that finally arrives.

The great people in history, many of them came from meager backgrounds and had many hardships before their "happy ending" came about. In actuality, it really comes down to me making a choice between the two options...meaning am I going to give up or will I press on and accomplish what I came here to do?

I can either give up, throw in the towel..or I can be the heroine of my life and conquer these mountains before me.
...those are the only choices.

Every queen has her rough moments..but at the end of it all she is still a queen.

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if
he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

I’m usually not one to write about
bible scriptures, but I do love a lot about what the bible says even though I
also incorporate other spiritualities in my personal belief system. I feel
there is a lot to be learned from reading the bible, larger than what it is
used for today for religious purposes...if you’re willing to look deeper.

So, here we go with how I perceive the above
bible verse. This may not be anything new, but I haven't updated my
blog in a looong while and felt like sharing my thoughts. :)

The world…the world means many
different things to many different people.Someone’s world might be their work, or a significant other and so forth
and so on. To me a soul is more than simply that invisible but felt part of
ourselves that is spirit and eternal. Although that is a very excellent
definition, I also feel that our soul is that larger part of ourselves that we give away. For example when you’ve
given and given in a specific situation and the receiver wants you to give
more. When you are giving to the point of not being able to give to yourself,
you’ve lost your soul. This goes for romantic relationships, relationships
between families, friendships, work, play..anything really. Losing your soul
isn’t always about “selling your soul to the devil”. In a sense you’ve sold
your soul to a devil by wanting whatever outcome you want to happen so bad that
you lose yourself (your soul) in the process.

The above bible reference, most
people take to mean selling your soul to Satan for riches, fame and worldly
pleasures. Though that is most likely true to some extent, I believe there is an
additional explanation to that particular verse.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall
gain the whole world…”

Well that would depend on what the
“world” means to each person. (I.E. money, girls, guys, success, job promotions,
material possessions, unwarranted status or respect for egoic purposes etc) ….

So for example, when you hear
about celebrities, some more than most, having supposedly sold their soul to
the devil, it could in fact be the case. However, I believe that in most cases
what celebrities have actually “sold” is their precious time, there privacy in
their day to day lives, being who they were before they were so widely known,
being a punching bag for the world. So in a sense, they have sold all of the
above for the status they now hold, not their actual souls. It takes a really
strong person to give up all of these things for their dream. I think that fame
is not for the weak hearted.

With the exception of some famous
people, I do believe that celebrities are normal human beings who had the
courage and were able to realize their dreams. Maybe instead of being so
obsessed with how they got there, people should applaud the greatness that famous
people have come to with their hard work. People should pay attention to their
own lives and work on bringing their own dreams into fruition and reach the
success they wish for.

Time is being wasted on the
subject of soul selling, especially if you’re in the artistic realm.The clock is ticking on living your life and
doing what you came here to do..whatever that may be.
